LEVERHULME COLLECTION. 


PRINCIPAL FEATURES. 


we Piet ae ‘ 

_ When, as plain Mr. William Lever, the late Lord 
Levevhulme lived in Wigan, the only ‘art. gallery 
which he possessed was a little parlour in a 
chamber-height tenement, and the crowning glory 
of this was a pair of pieces of Derby-Sevres, which 
are now in the famous Lady Lever Gallery erected 
at Port Sunlight—a worthy memorial of devotion 
and beneficence. In Vhe Daily Telegraph, Dec. 
18, 1922, the treasures of this remarkable collec- 
tion were described, and a proper tribute was paid 
to a min who could deprive himself of his chie! 
art possessions in order that the public should 
enjoy them as their own. 

Tt was known that. throughout his career he 
had been an enthusiastic buyer—and often a wil- 
ful one—-put to him every picture and every work 
of art told the story of some chapter in his life; 
aud his withers were unwrung evel if some of 
his treasure purchases could not pass all the tests. 
The true test came when he resolved to build 
and endow the gallery in memory of her who had 
always been his helpmate, and he then gladly con- 
sented to let his chefs d’cuvres be selected to gv 
to Port Sunlight for ever. Yet even when these 
were stripped from his walls the had abundance 
left to fill and decorate his home at The Hili, 
Hampstead Heath ; and, beginning on Oct. 12 and 
lasting fifteen days, this balance will be dispersed 
at a series of sales on the spot, conducted by 
Messrs. Knight, Frank, and Rutley. 
_ Yesterday the privilege was accorded to a repre- 
sentative body of oritics to view again this mass 
of aequisitions—an opportunity which will recur 
during the week from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3. If in 
this vast olla-podrida of every form of col- 
lecting the critical faculty is often urging one 
to wonder why certain pictures or ‘tapestries 
appealed to the late collector, there is a saving 
‘Jeaven of good and beautiful objects, and there 
is always something that bespeaks the bigness of 
heart which animated the formation of the 
collection. 

‘At Port Sunlight, in a place of 
tasteful picture in needlework 
Boaz,” signed by. the late Lord Leverhulme’s , 
mother, Eliza Lever. He never. forgot this early 
lesson in colour, and in his Hampstead dining-

SIR LAURENCE ALMA-TADEMA, R.A., 0.M. 
ENGLISH, 1836-1912 


Alma-Tadema was born in Friesland. Although he showed promise mn 
drawing as a boy, he was trained for the bar. He found, however, that his. 
true métier was painting and, while at first he encountered a certain 

amount of difficulty and discouragement, he attained success much earlier 
than is usual, and, when. only twenty-five years old, was awarded the Gold 
Medal for Painting at the Royal Academy at Antwerp.’ Later-he won high 
Medals and Orders from every cultured country. He devoted much time 

to historical research, which ensured the absolute accuracy of his paintings 
of Greek and Roman Antiquities, the romantic spirit of his pictures being 
invariably backed by sound knowledge of the subject and period 
represented.

‘SIR. EDWARD COLEY BURNE- JONES, BART, R. AS 


vue ENGLISH, 1838-1898 


Baber Coley Burne- -Jones was born in Bipaacee Original: destined 
for the Church, he went up to Oxford in 1852, where he met William Mor- 
ris, whose friendship he retained throughout the whole of his life. He e€ was 
a Celt to the finger-tips—dreamy. and imaginative. Absorbed in literature, - 
especially of an allegorical or romantic nature, his first serious essay in 
the realm of art was a set of pen-and-ink illustrations for a volume of 
Ballads on the Fairy Mythology of Europe. Except to a very small coterie 
none of his work was known until 1877, when he exhibited some pictures 
at the Grosvenor Galleries. They were at once the subject of discussion 
and controversy, which continued until 1889, when Messrs. Agnew bought 
the famous “Briar Rose” series and exhibited them at their Galleries— 
“A masterpiece in colour, design and execution which it is no rash pro- 
phecy to say, ensures the artist’s immortality as long as paint and canvas Be q 
hold together.” The four exquisite pictures silenced criticism and, as long 
as they were on view, crowds flocked daily to see them. In the same year 
the French Government made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour 
and in. 1894 Queen Victoria, on the advice of Gladstone, created him a Bar- 
onet. His motto—“Sequar et Attingam’”’ —was prophetic. In all humility, 
with absolute fidelity and truth, he “followed and attained” the vision 
of his dream. - 
This is the first time that a collection of his works has been ead for sale — § 
in America, although during his lifetime he had American admirers, — ; 
notably Professor Charles E'. Norton of Harvard University, whose daugh- 

ter’s portrait was painted by Burne-Jones. The studies, as do the finished 

pictures, serve to show with what patience and care his work was 8 done, so 

that he could offer nothing less than ls best. |

A COTTAGE BY THE RIVER 
BY JOHN CONSTABLE 


[NUMBER 23] 


JOHN CONSTABLE, R.A. 
ENGLISH, 1776-1837 


Constable was born at Hast Bergholt, in Suffolk. In his lifetime he never 
attained any success in England, but posterity has fully vindicated his 
claim to be the founder of a new school of landscape painting. He was 
faithful to his own ideal of art and adhered to it in the face of merciless 
criticism. His first breath of fame came from France, where the fresh- 
ness and simplicity of his style made a profound impression, which was 
acknowledged by the French critics, and he was awarded a Gold Medal 
by King Charles X. His work has had profound influence upon painters, 
and in France particularly his lesson was early learnt by some of the 
great impressionists. 

It 1s interesting to note that a hitherto unknown picture by Constable has 
recently been discovered in London—a canvas 60 x 44 inches, giving a 
broad vision of Dedham Lock, Suffolk. The discovery was made by Mr. 
Coghlan Briscoe, chairman of the Dublin Municipal Gallery of Modern 
Art, who saw the canvas in a salesroom, and recognized beneath the layers 
of dirt and. old varnish the brushwork of the master. When the picture 
was cleaned, the signature and date—‘John Constable, 1819”—became 
legible. The varnish had preserved the colors in the painting remarkably, 
and Mr. Briscoe has refused, it is said, a four-figure offer—in pounds ster- 
ling—for his discovery. Curiously enough, it was a picture of Dedham 
Vale that first brought the artist’s name prominently before the public.

From a label pasted on the back of the frame it appears dat this 
fine picture was once in the possession of Thomas Agnew, Carver 
and Gilder, Exchange Street, Manchester—this would be during the 
earlier half of the last century. 

Constable exhibited no picture of Arundel at the Royal Academy or 
the British Institution, so far as can be discovered from the respec- 
tive cataloguers. We know from his biographers that he visited his 
friend George Constable at Arundel in July, 1834, and he was work- 
ing on his picture of Arundel Mill and Castle (now in the Collection 
of Mr. Libby of Toledo, Ohio) at the time of his death. The Lever- 
hulme picture dates from about 1834-37, and ranks as one of his 
masterpieces.

DAVID COX 
ENGLISH, 1783-1859 
Cox was born near Birmingham—the son of a blacksmith. His career was 
determined by his breaking a leg; to while away the hours of convalescence 
he was given a paint box and his efforts were regarded as so promising 
that, upon recovery, he was sent to a drawing-school. At the age of six- 
teen he was apprenticed to a toy-maker, for whom he painted miniatures 
and decorated small objects. On the death of his employer he painted 
scenery for the Birmingham Theatre, at that time managed by the father 
of Macready, the famous tragedian. In 1804 he went to London, where he 
made the acquaintance of Varley, who encouraged him to devote himself 
seriously to painting, and in 1813 the seal was set on his skill and profes- 
sional reputation by his election as a Member of the Water Colour Society.

Diaz was born at Bordeaux of Spanish parents, both of whom died before

study and used to steal away to sleep in the woods; he lost a leg from 
poison caused by the bite of an insect while doing so, and his death was 
caused by a viper while painting in a forest. When fifteen years of age 
he was employed in a porcelain factory; subsequently he studied art, but 
his work met with no recognition and he lived in deep poverty. The turn- 
ing point in his career came when he met Rousseau, who installed him at 
Fontainebleau, when he quickly became famous for his landscapes and

Academy. 


Tannhauser, in repentance for his excesses on the Venusberg and 
spurned by Lisaura, asked the Pope for his blessing; the Pope 
declared that he would expect a dry rod to blossom sooner than that 
Tannhauser should obtain forgiveness of his sins. In despair he 
wanders through the wood, till, meeting the funeral procession of 
Lisaura, his anguish and remorse are such that the rod bursts into 
leaf and flower.

his exceptional gifts as a colorist and master of oil painting, and estab- 
lished his reputation. His best known work is probably “Youth at the 
Prow and Pleasure at the Helm”, in the National Gallery, London. The 
present collection of his pictures is the largest, as well as the finest and 
most representative, that has ever been placed on the market.

THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH, R.A. 
| ENGLISH, 1727-1788 

Born in Suffolk, England. He was one of the greatest painters of the 
eighteenth century and maintained a successful rivalry with Sir Joshua 
Reynolds, from: his house in Pall Mall, in painting the portraits of the 
beauty and fashion of his day. It is very rare for a portrait painter to be 
’ also a landscape painter, but Gainsborough managed to combine the two, 
and, while his portraits show the same simplicity as: those of Van Dyck, 
whom he greatly admired, in landscape he captured all the mystery and 
charm of the countryside, and his subtle effects of light. and eI: are 
enchanting. .

Works by Bonington, onstable 
and Cotes brought, in only idolated: in- 
stances, more than $1,000. One of the 
surprises of the evening was when the 
widely-heralded Constable landscape, 
“Arundel,” ranked as one of Lord Lev- 
erhulme’s masterpieces, was sold to 
Mrs. William T. Tonner for $1,000. 

Fifteen paintings by Constable, 
though numbering nearly a dozen 
small studies, realized $5,925. Six 
landscapes by John (Old) Crome went 
for $5,050. Four by Bonington brought 
$4,000, and four Pee including 
the large “Earl of Fife” by Francis 
Cotes, sold for$4,750 . 

It was apparent that many of the 
pictures collected by Lord Leverhulme 


were types which hold relatively small | 


interest for the American collector. A 
fine landscape entitled “Peace and 
War,” by David Cox, which thirteen. 
years after the painter’s death, in 
1859, was sold for nearly $18,000, 
brought only $2,500 last night. It was 
purchased by Rosenbach the Company.

of three. paintings by Sir Laurence

-ANGLO-BELGIAN, 16TH CENTURY 


Geeraerts was born at Bruges in the sixteenth century. He went to Eng- 
land on account of religious persecution and eventually became painter to 
Queen Elizabeth. About 1600 he painted the Procession of the Queen to a 
Marriage that took place at Blackfriars, and, in the National Gallery, Lon- 
don, there are portraits by him of Mary, Countess of Pembroke, Lord 
Burghley and William Camden.

Lord Essex, on his appearance at Court, was so distinguished by the 
| attention of Queen Elizabeth, that, on the 3rd May, 1587, Anthony 
| Bagot wrote: ‘When she is abroad nobody with her but my Lord 
| of Essex, and at night my lord is at cards, or one game or another 
| with her, that he cometh not to his own lodgings till birds sing in 
| the morning.” His success, however, went to his head and his arro- 
| gance was such that, on the occasion of his duel with Charles Blount, 
the Queen exclaimed, “By God’s death it were fitting some one should 
take him down and teach him better manners, or there were no rule 
with him.” His execution after a abortive insurrection left the 


Queen inconsolable.

the Town Hall. His forceful pictures are full of gaiety and character and

HUGH DOUGLAS HAMILTON 
IRISH, 1734-1806 


Hugh Douglas Hamilton was born at Dublin, Ireland. He first achieved 
success by means of his pastel portraits, and, leaving Ireland for London, 
became one of the fashionable artists of the day; his portraits of King 
George III and Queen Charlotte are in the Royal Collection. In 1778 
he went to Rome, where he painted several notable personages and began, 
on the advice of Flaxman, to paint in oils, in which medium he gained even 

greater fame than in his previous work in pastel.

_.. HENRI HARPIGNIES © 
| FRENCH, 1819-1916 


Born at Valenciennes in 1819: Chevalier of the Legion of Honour: awarded 
a medal at Philadelphia. In 1853 he exhibited for the first time at the 
Salon. and thence onwards until 1863, when his exhibit was not accepted. 
This so enraged him that, in a moment, he destroyed his picture of “Wild 
Ducks” that had taken him months to execute.. Harpignies was an accom- 
plished draughtsman of branch and foliage and his landscapes are painted 
with a simplicity and confidence that arrest the eye and the imagination.

FREDERICK, LORD LEIGHTON, P.R.A. 
ENGLISH, 1830-1896 


Leighton was the son of wealthy and cultured parents; he studied under 
Steinle and travelled extensively on the Continent until 1858, when he 
returned to London and met with considerable success as a painter. In 
1878 he was elected President of the Royal Academy, which office he filled 
with distinction. The design of his paintings is excellent and nothing could 
be more exquisite than the arrangement of his draperies. “The figures 
are painted with rare skill and grace, the drawing is admirable and the 
archaeological learning, which seems to be a matter of special pride in art 
to-day, is most thorough.’—Professor Weir’s note on Leighton’s exhibit 
in his “Official Report of the American Centennial E'xhibition of 1870’.

‘SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS, P.R.A. 
ENGLISH, 1829-1896 


Millais, with Holman Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, inaugurated the 
Pre-Raphaelite movement, whose aim was to “present on canvas what 
they saw in nature’. To this principle Millais steadfastly adhered 
and his pictures are strong with the force of great sincerity. In spite of 
adverse criticism (in which even Charles Dickens joined, though he after- 
wards owned his mistake), his pictures sold for considerable sums—‘The 
—Carpenter’s Shop’, which “The Times” called loathsome and revolting, 
being bought by a dealer for £150. Members of his family and friends 
sat for nearly all his subject pictures and when he turned his attention to 
portraits they were among his greatest successes, his portrait of Mr. Glad- 
stone, now in the National Gallery, London, being considered the finest 
portrait ever DUNC of the great statesman. 


179 “CALLER HERRING” | 
Miss Beatrice Buckstone, the daughter of the Retr, was the 
model for this picture, “the broadest piece of Pre-Raphaelite painting 
he (Millais) had indulged in for five-and-twenty years”. She is rep- 
resented in a blue dress and write apron, seated on the shore, with 
a basket of ‘caller’ (or fresh) herring by her side, her head resting 
on her hand, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

E serene * WILLIAM JAMES MULLER 
ie : ENGLISH, 1812-1845 


Son of the curator of the Bristol Museum in England. He travelled exten- 

by 2 sively, the majority of his paintings being illustrative of his tours. His 

| work was not fully appreciated in his lifetime, but he is now regarded as 

one of the great artists of his day, and his paintings command very high 

| prices. He had an extraordinary individuality and painted direct from 

2 nature in a manner purely his own; he worked in a state of inspired 
enthusiasm and, once away from the spot, would not re-touch.

~ JOHN OPIE, R.A. 
ENGLISH, 1761-1807 


Opie was the son of a village carpenter in Cornwall, England, who wished 
him to join him in his business. The boy’s love of drawing, however, was 
so pronounced that nothing could divert him. Dr. Wolcott, a great patron 
of artists, who at that time resided in Truro, interested himself in his 
advancement, and he soon became known as a painter of distinction; his 
portraits are full of vigor and style.

attracted to painting, that he did not take Orders until he was forty-three 
years of age, afer which time he only exhibited paintings of religious sub-

of the French School, and Peter Pindar used this as a perpetual subject

A GROUP OF THREE CHILDREN 
BY SIR HENRY RAEBURN, R.A. 


[NUMBER 221] 


SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, P.R. A. ; 
| ENGLISH, 1723-1792 ) 


Reynolds was born in Devonshire; at an early age he showed signs of ‘talent 
and in 1740 went to London and was apprenticed to Thomas Hudson, the 
portrait painter; he studied hard and by 1744 had executed some twenty 


portrait commissions. His work was so much superior to that of any of 


his contemporaries that he quickly became the most popular painter of the 
day. He was elected first President of the Royal Academy. In 1781 he 
painted portraits of George III and Queen Charlotte and he also painted 

Dr. Johnson, who was his intimate and much-loved friend, five times. — 
Reynolds is regarded as the greatest portrait painter that England has 
ever produced and as one of the greatest painters in the world. He hada 
singularly charming personality and gathered round him all the most 


eminent people of his day. In his will he bequeathed a picture each to the 


Earl of Upper Ossory and to Lord Palmerston; the former chose the 
“Venus and Cupid” and the latter “The Infant Academy”, each of which 
is included in the Collection of Lord Leverhulme. . 


223 THE INFANT ACADEMY

other to the right, posing for its portrait, in high bonnet with

A studio version of the famous picture, frequently engraved and

) eanla was bequeathed by the artist to Henry, 2nd Lord Palmerston, 
Mie? Id uff ‘ and was sold in recent years to Lord Iveagh. The history of the 
present version cannot be traced further back than to Earl Gran- 
ville, who sold it at Christie’s on January 11, 1892, No. 128. It 
passed into the possession of L. Lesser, a London dealer, and subse- 
quently into the well-known collection of the late George Harland- 
Peck, Esq., of Belgrave Square, London; in his sale June 25, 1920, 

| it was Lot ue) passed into Lord Leverhiine s Collection.

BY GEORGE ROMNEY 


[NUMBER 233] 


DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI 
ENGLISH, 1828-1882 


Rossetti was the eldest son of Gabriele Rossetti, I talian poet, compelled to 
seek refuge in England on account of his political views.. The son inherited 
the poetic talent and, when only nineteen years of age, wrote “The Blessed 
Damozel” and some of his most important sonnets. In 1848, impatient 
with the Academy training in drawing, he went to Ford Madox Brown — 
for instruction. Through him he met Holman Hunt and Millais, and thus — 
the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was formed. In 1860 he married Eliza- 


beth Siddal, a milliner’s assistant—a most lovable, beautiful and gifted : 


woman, who died two years after the marriage, and in whose coffin Ros- 
setti buried all the manuscripts of his poems. ‘After her death he moved 


to Tudor House, Chelsea, which he shared with his brother, George Mere- | q 
dith and Swinburne. Ruskin, William Morris and Burne-Jones all joined 


the circle of literary and artistic friends where Rossetti’s magic tempera- 
ment and personality exercised undisputed sway. The intensity of his 
emotions, his originality and imagination pervaded his poetry, his painting 
and his daily life; in all his thoughts, words and deeds he was an artist. 


237 THE: LADY OF PITY - 
The head and shoulders of a woman—in ace ral bowne seated at a 
casement, holding a casket; below ze window sill are magnolia. 
flowers. 
Canvas. Height, 46 inches; width, 34 chee 
From the Collection of Mrs. William Rossetti, 1924. — 
Mrs. William Rossetti, who was before her marriage Lucy Madox 


I Brown, served as a model for this picture. 
qe T Ford Madox Brown, in a letter written in 1866 to Mr. George Rae, 


states: “Rossetti has had the Morrises staying with him in order to 
paint Mrs. M. as ‘La Pia’ from Dante’s Purgatorio . . . It seems that 
in Dante’s time, a very beautiful lady was shut up by her husband 
in a Castle in the Maremma, and there died, either of poison or 
through the malaria. With Mrs. Morris for model and Rossetti for 
the painter, and such a subject, you can imagine some of the tragic, 
fearful beauty of the picture.”

238 A SEA SPELL 


A beautiful siren, crowned with roses, seated in a leafy bower by fits 
shore, playing a harp; over her hovers a sea-bird. : The sgoloncct 
sonnet expresses Rossetti’s conception of the theme: 

“Her lute hangs shadowed in the apple-tree 

While flashing fingers weave the sweet-strung spell 

Between its chords; and as the wild notes swell, | 

The sea-bird for those branches leaves the sea. 

But to what sound her listening ear stoops she? 

What nether-world gulf-whispers doth she hear, 

In answering whispers from what planisphere, 

Along the wind, along the estuary? 


“She sinks into her spell: and when full soon 
- Her lips move and she soars into her song, 

What creatures of the midmost main shall throng — 

In furrowed surf-clouds to the summoning rune: 

Till he, the fated mariner, hears her cry, 

And up her rock, bare-breasted, comes to die?” eat

HURLEY HOUSE : 
BY JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER, R.A. 


[NUMBER 269] 


JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER, R.A. 
ENGLISH, 1775-1851 


Turner stands unrivalled in his delicate and imaginative treatment of 
light and atmospheric effect. At the age of twenty-four he was elected an 
Associate of the Royal Academy and was at the head of his profession. 
Although his work was sometimes adversely criticized, Ruskin praised him 
as few artists are ever praised in their lifetime, and his reputation rose 
steadily during the whole of his life, his works commanding very large 


prices. 


269 HURLEY HOUSE

ing clothes; the house in the background in a misty light.

VP Canvas. Height, 15 inches; width, 18 inches. 


Turner made his North of England journey in 1797, and Cosmo 

Monkhouse writes: ‘The effect upon Turner of the fells and vales 

of Yorkshire and Cumberland seems to have been much the same as 

that of Scotland upon Landseer: it braced all his powers, developed 

manhood of art, turned him from a toilsome student into a triumphal 
- master.” ;

RICHARD WILSON, R.A. 
ENGLISH, 1714-1782 


Richard Wilson, the son of a clergyman, was born in Scotland; he studied — 
under Thomas Wright, the portrait painter, in London, and acquired a — 
certain reputation as a portrait painter. He then went to Italy, where he — 
remained for five years and, influenced by Zuccarelli and Vernet, he painted — 
landscapes which entitle him to be regarded as one of the greatest painters — 
of landscape of the British School. The fact that his character was 


unbending and difficult may account for his having lived and died in pov- 


erty. It is related that when the King wished to buy one of his pictures at — 


a reduced rate, he replied that “if it were inconvenient to His Majesty to 
pay just then, the money could be paid in instalments”.
